1939 Hawthorne Twinbar Zep

Pic of the crusty bike looks like the tubes go under the bottom bracket. That'd be monark. And straight chain/seat stays.

To me the crusty bike doesn't appear to run under the BB.

I've seen many Snyder built bikes equipped with CWC springer forks. Most likely before Snyder came out with their own.

It's just so weird to me to have all these CWC frame qualities like the curved seat post like the RMS and then the 5 bars have the bowed seat and chain stays and they just happen to be equipped with a CWC fork but it's not a CWC.

Which bike are you referring to?

 

[fordmike65]

We really need to see some serial numbers if we want to put this CWC vs Snyder thing to rest

CWC

 

[Jarod24]

So the only difference in the synder and the CWC is the curved or straight cross brace?

 

[Jarod24]

So there bowed seat and chain stays model was made by both as well?

See, the problem is we're taking this poor Cabe'rs thread off on a tangent about a completely different frame. I'm going to start another thread about the "Non-Monark" Hawthorne Twin Bars where can compare those bikes. These two bikes you posted above are not the same bike bairdco is building up.

I think his frame is still involved in this thread. But I think I found a thread that may help answer our questions
